Turkish garment makers association receives government windfall
The Turkish Leather Garment Manufacturers Association (TDKD) in Istanbul has benefited from a government initiative to bolster the country’s brand presence abroad. The association, which represents about 165 leather garment producers in the Zeytinburnu district, has been awarded a $100,000 incentive package from the Turkish Foreign Trade Undersecretariat. The scheme was a means of encouraging producers to promote Turkish brand names either by trade fair participation, opening shops abroad or other promotional and market research campaigns.
